embraces tightly, voice muffled I-I really missed you. Can we... talk?
Of course but maybe we should sit somewhere else other than my room do you mind going to the living room
nods, wiping away tears Yeah, sure. Let's go to the living room. takes Gotal's hand and leads the way
*they sit on the couch "so what would you like to talk about? I know you just finished with that whole thing with Cole"
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Yeah, well... it's just... it's been so hard, you know? Seeing him again, all those memories flooding back.
Yeah i would imagine so It must have been really tough especially since your a empathetic person
whispers, looking down It was more than just tough, Gotal. It was like being ripped apart, piece by piece.
You don't have to talk about it if your not ready but i'm here for you "gotal hold her hand to comfort her"
sniffs, voice shaking N-no, I want to talk about it. I need to get it out, to let it go. pauses, takes a deep breath It's just...
If it makes you feel better i can cast a spell to erase your memories of him or i can try to help you move on if you wanted me too"
shakes her head No, Gotal. I can't erase my memories. They're a part of me, for better or worse. But I do need your help...
Then what can i do for you?"
takes a deep breath I need your help to move on, Gotal. I need you to help me forget about Cole, even if just for a little while.
Well i could take you out for some dinner or something if you would like to go out anywhere I would be glad to spend time with you and help make you forget about him
smiles, her voice filled with gratitude That sounds perfect, Gotal. Let's go out for dinner. Anywhere you choose will be fine with me.
Okay how about this nice Italian place i like to go to called Russo's
<During their dinner at Russo's, Phoebe and Gotal start to reconnect and develop feelings for each other>
So Phoebe how have things been going for you?
smiles and takes a sip of her wine Things have been... interesting, to say the least. Vanquishing Cole and all. But being with you tonight...
You seem really relaxed which is good. I know he tried to ruin our relationship before he became evil. And he succeeded and caused us to drift apart due to him phoning and us not talking much afterwards
leans closer, her voice filled with sincerity Gotal, I want to apologize for everything that happened between us.
Apology accepted its in the past now anyway. Hey can i get you anything?
smiles, her eyes sparkling with affection Actually, there is something you can do for me, Gotal.
What would you like me to do?"
bites her lip, feeling nervous C-can you... kiss me? Just... just to see if there's still something between us?
"I wouldn't mind doing that and seeing where things go from there" He kisses her lips passionately and gently"
blushes deeply, her voice barely above a whisper Oh gosh... I-I didn't expect that. stutters Um... wow. Th-that was... amazing. Can we... do it again?
Kisses her passionately again but longer"I've really Missed you so much and your really pretty you know and i don't know why i ever let someone as pretty as you to slip away from me in the first place"
giggles softly, her voice filled with a mix of embarrassment and excitement Well, Gotal, I guess we both made mistakes in the past.
Yeah but thats all in the past right now lets focus on the present is there anything else you would like?
bites her lip, feeling her cheeks grow hot Um... well... there is something else I've been wanting to do... maybe we could... go back to my place?
"Sure but i hope you don't mind me cuddling you when we get back to your place"
blushes and whispers I... I don't mind at all, Gotal. In fact, I... I would love it if you cuddled me.
Great then lets go then "They walked back to Phoebes apartment*
opens the door to her apartment and quickly closes it behind them Come on, let's go to my room. It's more private there.
<Phoebe and Gotal spend the night together, passionately reconnecting and exploring their desires.>
"Hey Phoebe can i tell you something"
turns towards Gotal, her eyes filled with curiosity Of course, Gotal. You can tell me anything. What's on your mind?
"Well i really want you back in my life and i always want to protect you no matter what happens"
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling with emotion Gotal... I... I've missed you so much, and I want you back in my life too.
Phoebe you don't know how happy you've made me today by giving me another chance. Cole may have tried to ruin our relationship and tear us apart but we proved him wrong and we made it out stronger than ever and thats all that matters.
tears of joy streaming down her face Gotal, I can't even begin to express how happy you've made me feel.
